What kind of cars do people drive? Including fuel type and emission standards in a car ownership model

Car ownership models are essential for understanding travel behavior and informing transportation policy decisions. However, previous research on car ownership modeling has not addressed the determinants of car ownership related to pollutant emissions such as fuel type or emissio...

Exploration of Physiotherapists' Understanding and Application of Safety Netting Procedures in France—A Qualitative Study

BACKGROUND: Physiotherapists in primary care frequently manage patients with musculoskeletal disorders that may conceal serious underlying pathologies, leading to diagnostic uncertainty. Although safety netting is recommended to enhance diagnostic reasoning and ensure patient saf...

Optimal Vaccination Strategies for a Heterogeneous SIS Model

Abstract. We study in a general mathematical framework the optimal allocation of vaccine in an heterogeneous population. We cast the problem of optimal vaccination as a biobjective minimization problem [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] stand,...

Urban transit experimentation as a mega-event legacy: public security in railway stations at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games

The urban sites of sport mega-events, such as the World Cup or the Olympic and Paralympic Games, have become stages for experimenting with extraordinary security and safety procedures. These procedures are designed to demonstrate the host country’s capacity to mobilize in the fac...
